I actually really liked the first one, but this one seemed much less funny. Ice Cube is the best part.
The first time I saw this I didn't care for it, but the second time I liked it a lot, and I liked it maybe even more this time. It's a strange one, less conventional than the first and somewhat underdeveloped, but as engrossing, and with an equally strong sense of time and place. The Vito stuff is fantastic, I wish they had more of it. The weak spot is the three climactic deaths: I think they really shouldn't have cut between them like that, because it's obviously harking back to the baptism in the first film, but it's so much less dramatic on the whole. Fredo's death is the only impactful one, and that's too intimate a moment to be spliced up.
